The best way to make this festive season stress-free is by ordering your Christmas cards and gift wrap well in advance. At Sister Paper Co., we’re a small business dedicated to helping your holiday celebrations feel extra magical.
We’ll be packing and shipping your orders as quickly as we can throughout December. All orders are sent from the U.K. via Royal Mail, which gets very busy during the holidays so the earlier you order, the better. Once your parcel is with Royal Mail, delivery times are out of our hands, but we’ll get it on its way as fast as possible.
To ensure your Christmas cards arrive on time, we recommend ordering before the dates listed below. That way, you can relax, sip your hot chocolate, and enjoy the peace of mind that your Christmas cards are on their way.
